About the author
Victoria Glad is a little-known author associated with supernatural and horror fiction of the early 1950s. Publicly available reference listings are sparse, but LibriVox identifies her as active around 1951, and Project Gutenberg preserves Each Man Kills, a vampire-themed story first published in Weird Tales in March 1951.
That surviving work has helped keep her name in circulation among readers of vintage horror. Modern publisher and catalog pages also list her in collections and reprints, suggesting that her reputation rests mainly on a handful of atmospheric genre stories rather than on a large, well-documented career.
Because reliable biographical information appears to be very limited, details about her life outside her published work are unclear. What remains most visible today is the fiction itself: concise, moody, and rooted in the classic tradition of supernatural magazine storytelling.
